Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Sees Robot Investment Returns Materialize: Flagship Projects Deliver Over 10x Returns

HONG KONG, Jan. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amid the deepening integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy, the robotics industry is emerging as one of the most disruptive frontier sectors. Recently, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) has drawn strong market attention following the disclosure of its impressive investment performance in the robotics space.

The Company announced that it will launch its first livestream session this Sunday (18 January 2026) at 7:50 p.m. on Douyin and WeChat Channels. Centered on robot product sales and market validation, the initiative aims to accelerate the transition of robotics from technology demonstration to consumer-level applications. At the same time, Shoucheng Holdings disclosed that its robotics investment portfolio has achieved an overall absolute return of more than 4x. According to Company Secretary Kang Yu, early investments in several flagship companies — including Unitree Robotics, Galaxy General Robots and Zibian Technology — have each delivered returns exceeding 10x.

These achievements are not the result of short-term financial speculation, but rather stem from a long-term investment strategy built on deep industry insight. “Ecosystem empowerment” has become a key growth driver. Shoucheng Holdings emphasizes the synergy of “investment empowering industry, and industry reinforcing investment,” forming a structured and scalable growth model. This approach extends beyond traditional post-investment support, integrating upstream and downstream industry resources as well as application scenarios to drive coordinated development across the entire value chain. As the robotics market enters a critical phase of scaled commercialization, this comprehensive strategy has helped accelerate valuation growth while enhancing the stability of investment returns.

Strong Returns from Core Investments: Multiple Projects Achieve Over 10x Growth

Since initiating its robotics industry strategy in 2024, Shoucheng Holdings has achieved an overall book return exceeding 4x across a portfolio of more than 20 robotics enterprises, driven by precise sector selection and a systematic, forward-looking investment approach. Through precise sector selection and a systematic, forward-looking investment approach, the Company has achieved an overall book return exceeding 4x, with market participants expecting further upside potential. The portfolio spans the full robotics value chain, including robot hardware manufacturing, embodied intelligence, core control systems, and intelligent application deployment.

Among these investments, Zibian Robot, a representative company in the embodied intelligence segment, recently completed an A++ financing round of approximately RMB 1 billion, joined by several leading institutional investors. Shoucheng Holdings’ affiliated fund participated at an early stage and realized a return exceeding 10x in the latest round, making it one of the most representative success stories within the Company’s robotics portfolio.

In addition, Shoucheng Holdings has invested in several globally influential robotics OEMs. Unitree Robotics, a leading player in the global quadruped robot market, is currently advancing its capital market process and is regarded as one of the robotics sector’s key IPO-track candidates. Other core portfolio companies, such as Galaxy General Robots, have also demonstrated steady growth momentum, continuing to support the overall investment performance of the portfolio.

The strong performance of these carefully selected flagship projects has not only generated significant capital returns, but has also become a cornerstone of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics ecosystem development.

Building a Robotics Ecosystem: From Investment to Application Scenarios and Channel Synergy

Shoucheng Holdings’ investment success is not driven by capital deployment alone, but by a comprehensive “full-value-chain ecosystem collaboration” strategy designed to amplify investment value.

Across the value chain, the Company has invested upstream in materials, components and core technology suppliers; midstream in robot OEMs and intelligent system manufacturers; and downstream through channel integration and application scenario enablement, forming a closed loop of “investment + industry + application.”

On the channel and scenario front, Shoucheng Holdings has signed strategic agency cooperation agreements with approximately 100 robotics companies, establishing a nationwide distribution network to promote order conversion and product commercialization. Meanwhile, its “Robotics Technology Experience Stores” and “Robotics Livestream Sales Platforms” actively expand consumer-facing application scenarios, effectively shortening the path from innovation to market adoption.

This ecosystem strategy enhances the commercialization capabilities of portfolio companies, enables the generation of real orders and operational data, and further strengthens valuation foundations and long-term growth logic.

As the robotics industry moves beyond its early breakout phase and enters a period of accelerated corporate development, Kang Yu expects that approximately four portfolio robotics companies will initiate listing plans this year, including leading names such as Unitree Robotics. Progress toward public listings is regarded as a key milestone for value realization within the investment portfolio and is expected to further unlock investment returns. This capitalization outlook not only reflects the growth trajectory of individual portfolio companies, but also signals that Shoucheng Holdings’ long-term ecosystem strategy is entering a realization phase.

Robotics Ecosystem Achievements to Be Showcased in Upcoming Livestream

The “Breaking the Barrier Initiative” livestream, scheduled to go live this Sunday evening, will serve as an important platform for Shoucheng Holdings to showcase the progress of its robotics ecosystem development. From an investor’s perspective, the livestream will provide in-depth analysis of industry trends and portfolio company strategies, while examining the technological innovation, brand positioning and future development plans behind core products. This approach allows audiences to gain insight into both product capabilities and the long-term competitiveness of the companies involved.

As the robotics industry transitions from R&D-driven growth toward large-scale commercialization, Shoucheng Holdings’ integrated strategy of “capital + industrial ecosystem + application scenarios” has not only delivered meaningful returns for investors, but has also provided a replicable reference model for the development of China’s robotics industry ecosystem.

The AI Recording Pen That Turned Heads at CES Is Finally for Sale

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At CES 2026, Flowtica was not the loudest presence on the show floor. Over the course of the week, however, the Singapore-based AI company became one of the most closely watched, drawing sustained attention from media, investors, and industry observers.

Flowtica at CES

That attention has now translated into availability. Following its appearance as a CES 2026 Innovation Award Honoree, Flowtica has officially opened sales of Flowtica Scribe, its AI recording pen that quietly stood out in a field dominated by phone-dependent and screen-heavy solutions.

Flowtica Scribe did not make its first public appearance at CES. The product launched on Kickstarter several months earlier, where it attracted thousands of users and established early validation. CES marked a different stage for the company. The focus shifted away from introduction and toward closer examination, with many observers asking whether the idea could hold up beyond early enthusiasm.

Throughout the exhibition, Flowtica’s booth at Eureka Park became a steady meeting point for investors and journalists. Conversations rarely centered on specifications or feature lists. Instead, discussions focused on a more fundamental question: whether AI recording tools are beginning to converge on forms that genuinely fit into professional life.

Flowtica’s answer was visible in its choice of form. By embedding AI into a pen, an object already accepted in boardrooms, consultations, investor meetings, and sales conversations, the company avoided many of the social and practical frictions that continue to limit phone-based recorders. The result was a device that felt less like a new category of gadget and more like a natural extension of existing behavior.

This restraint is deliberate. Flowtica Scribe is designed to remain unobtrusive, with no screen and no demand for user attention during conversations. Recording, organization, and interpretation take place quietly in the background, allowing users to remain focused on the discussion itself. Among on-site observers, this approach positioned Flowtica as one of the more pragmatic entrants in an increasingly crowded AI recording market.

Hardware, however, represents only part of Flowtica’s differentiation. The company places equal emphasis on what happens after recording ends. Its AI functions as a continuously evolving insight system that can operate autonomously while remaining responsive to clear user guidance when needed. Over time, it adapts to individual working rhythms and priorities, shifting the emphasis from capturing everything to identifying what truly matters.

Rather than simply storing conversations, Flowtica helps determine which moments should be retained, revisited, and translated into next actions. Key insights are designed to integrate naturally with existing productivity tools, including calendars and task systems, allowing them to fit into established workflows rather than compete with them.

As interest in Flowtica Scribe built during CES, one question surfaced repeatedly. When would the product be available beyond the show floor?

With sales now officially open through Flowtica’s website, the company moves from exhibition attention to real-world deployment. For Flowtica, this moment appears less like a conclusion and more like a transition, from being observed to being used.

As the AI recording market continues to mature, competition is shifting away from novelty and early adoption toward durability. The defining question is no longer whether a system can record conversations, but whether it can remain useful over time.

Flowtica enters this next phase with an approach that is measured and quietly confident, placing its bet not on spectacle, but on long-term relevance.

First U.S. Patient Dosed in BiPASS: Phase 3 Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Study

MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, “Telix”) today announces that the first patient in the United States (U.S.) has been dosed in BiPASS™ (Biopsy of the Prostate Avoidance Stratification Study), a Phase 3 trial to  evaluate the use of Telix’s commercial PSMA-PET[1] imaging agents, Illuccix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection) and Gozellix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection) in the initial prostate cancer diagnosis setting. The dose was administered under the supervision of Dr. Brian Mazzarella at Urology Austin and supplied by RLS Radiopharmacies.

BiPASS™ is the first study designed to gain marketing authorization for 68Ga-PSMA-PET[2] imaging in the pre-biopsy setting. The prospective, open-label Phase 3 trial will enroll 250 patients across sites in the U.S. and Australia. The study aims to determine whether combining MRI[3] with Illuccix/Gozellix 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET can improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies compared to current standard practice. Men with elevated PSA[4] often proceed from an inconclusive MRI to template prostate biopsy. This procedure is stressful and unpleasant, can lead to complications[5] and frequently proves to be of no benefit to the patient[6].

In the U.S., more than one million prostate biopsies are performed annually, yet up to 75% are negative[6], and one in four patients declines the physician recommendation of receiving a biopsy[7]. The objective of BiPASS™ is to demonstrate improved lesion detection and patient stratification by integrating non-invasive molecular Illuccix/Gozellix 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging early in the diagnostic pathway, to enable biopsy de-escalation or, alternatively, greater biopsy precision when administered.

If the BiPASS™ study achieves its primary objectives, it could lead to a reduction in unnecessary biopsies, improved patient experience, and a significant expansion of access to precision imaging for patients with suspected prostate cancer, potentially increasing the use of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in a large new patient population.

Dr. Mazzarella, Vice President of Research for Urology America, said, “We’re excited to participate in the BiPASS trial at Urology Austin, which brings together promising technologies and emerging trends in patient care.  If BiPASS is successful in meeting its primary endpoint, it could eliminate the need for biopsy—reducing risks, side effects, and costs—and improve decision-making for providers and patients.”

Kevin Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, Telix Precision Medicine, added, “Illuccix and Gozellix are already transforming how clinicians treat and manage prostate cancer. By initiating this trial, we are reinforcing Telix’s commitment to patient centricity, clinical innovation, and industry leadership—with the goal of eliminating invasive biopsy.”

About BiPASS™

BiPASS™ (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07052214) leverages promising clinical findings from the PRIMARY[8] and PRIMARY2[9] studies, which demonstrated that MRI combined with 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET can better define or rule out prostate cancer and guide active surveillance before invasive biopsy. Professor Louise Emmett, Principal Investigator for PRIMARY, serves on the BiPASS™ Steering Committee and as an Investigator on the study.

About Illuccix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection)

Illuccix, after radiolabeling with 68Ga, is indicated for PET scanning of PSMA positive lesions in men with prostate cancer who have suspected metastasis and are candidates for initial definitive therapy, those with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, and for selection of patients who are indicated for PSMA-directed therapy as described in the prescribing information of the therapeutic products.

About Gozellix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection)

Gozellix, after radiolabeling with 68Ga, is indicated for PET scanning of PSMA positive lesions in men with prostate cancer who have suspected metastasis and are candidates for initial definitive therapy, and those with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.
